Doors or Vistas?

So which combination of this years Journal quilts do you prefer as a 'foursome' for display next year? Vistas or Doors?I'm torn - the 'doors' are more interesting individually but there's some intriguingdynamics going on in the combination of sea, water and landscapes and it works better as one piece.

There is something more mysterious, and many layers of understanding, drawing the attention around the composition of Vistas. Nothing is really obvious, a very interesting set together. The doors are too obvoius for my taste.

I've looked long and hard at both arrangements and I do prefer the doors although I agree that there are connections to be made between the Vistas pieces. I would love to see them all irl to appreciate the colours and tones (not that there's anything wrong with your photos just that you can't beat the real thing).

i vote for doors.i find it more visually appealing, all those details in the 3rd piece . perhaps the composition is more evident here, but i find it powerful, the dominant center and the detailed sides.
